Divya character I like even nothing is shown much of her past, why she left Raj. But to help her family, and let them marry first, and taking care of her brother and sister. It shows she is caring person. Not many people do that for family now. It is all about myself and my happiness, in this difficult society today. So she seems a caring person who wants others be happy and doesn't care much about her own happiness. Somehow I think I would choose family too, if they need me, over love. Because love should understand your problems and decisions in life. For me love is understanding. It seems both Raj and Divya waited for each other for ten years, off course raj got married somehow under pressure so they still understand each other.. as they did wait.. only still confused why didn't they contact each other.. ..but to wait for ten years take courage and strenght and the love must be deep.. because who waits for a decade.. As for Sarita I get it why people feel sorry for her, I do too, but seeing all the focuss on her these weeks lol sorry I got tired of her and feeling sorry for her no offence. Also I know people love to see her shouthing against her MIL, as she rude, but for me well I don't like it. Somehow I think it was Divya in Sarita place, I think Divya would have Raj go and be with his love.. As Divya cares about others being happy.. I really wish the writers could write Divya persective better, tell her story too, show it on screen, give her dialogues, to talk about her struggle... I still want to know how a geeky kinda girl with glasses became an actress. And why she left..
Raj is a man which man wait for a girl to return to him after ten years, and stays faithfull to her.. in every sence. Only deep love can do that, or off course obsessive like Gaurav is saying to Divya. So lets see..

Bee, interesting point. All three are about same age. Divya seems to belong to a middle class family but with probably an open outlook. Raj belongs to a nouveau rich family that is quite conservative with father ruling over everybody. Sarita belongs to a rich influential family. We don't know if the family is conservative or modern. But there seems to be support for Sarita as she uses them to silence her MIL. Also, when she decided to leave for good, she did tell Raj that she would go to her father's house indicating there is support for her.

10 years ago, all three were quite young and immature. They made choices where Divya's choice seems to be the only clear one. Her motive for leaving Raj was to take care of her siblings. It also seems that Raj was aware of her reasons. Then why did she leave in hiding? She told Sarita that Raj is very stubborn and she is the only one to make him change his mind. Did she not succeed that one time? Is that why she had to leave in hiding? We don't know yet.

But one thing is clear. She was the one with least amount of resources and she made something of her life. Her show was coming for last 7 years. Also preleap she was looking for odd jobs. So it seems that she had a struggle of at least 3 years before she could succeed. She had expectations that Raj would wait for her and we don't know the reason for those expectations or why she didn't' bother to contact Raj even once.

But one thing is for sure that even when her dreams get broken, she tries to make the best of everything. She does have a tendency to feel guilty easily because she is a generous person.

.

So whether Sarita would do the same thing if she was in Divya's place? I doubt it. She is only immersed in her own pain, but she did not have qualms for asking Divya to postpone her wedding. Divya did dump Gaurav at the alter, but she felt remorse and apologized. So far they have not shown Sarita feeling any remorse for breaking up Divya's wedding. Also her wanting Raj is so far for her own sake and not for Raj's sake either.

So it doesn't mean that Sarita is bad. But she doesn't have Divya's empathy for other's pain. Like Kamla and others, she too looks at the surface and feels that Divya is getting everything while she has got nothing. She has ignored Divya's broken dreams as well as her sacrifices and struggles.

Divya had it easy. plus I bet money this Divya deep down she has her own selfish reason for going back. When she left Raj she should have told him to wait for her But she didn't she climbed on the train and left and expected things to be Fine


I agree, sarita was shown to be young girl with lots of hopes and dreams on the wedding day. But her life changed drastically over the years. She is from a rich family and has loving parents but is stuck with her inhuman in-laws for 10 years which has turned her into a bitter women. though money cant buy happiness but still divya lived a luxurious life she had her family support her fame people appreciate her, both raj and gurav love her whereas there is no1 for sarita, her in-law's behave cruelly to her and it is clear that she loves raj. and love does bring hope and everyday she hopes and hopes and hopes that maybe today my husband will love her so probably thats the reason she stays in that house.😭

All of us are assuming Diya and raj did not discuss her leaving
Nothing has been shown could be div told raj she leaving to support her family and he said ok but let me help

But div. did not want that so sneaked away
Another way could be div did not tell him -- most probably that the scenario -- so she left
The cvs have to do a lot of flash backs to get the whole pic
Why sarita decided to stay
Why raj did not get in contact with divya and vice-a-versa
Why raj treated sarita like some one not there
Why why saritas parents did not anything for 10 yrs they did not stay in touch with
So many questions that need to be answered before the story should move forward

Nice analysis everyone!!! I enjoyed reading different takes on the three lead characters.
As for me, I admire Divya and sympathize with Sarita. Divya's professional success despite odds and her bonding with her family are applause worthy. We don't know what happened between her and Raj but despite loving Raj she had no support. We can talk about true love of Raj but the simple fact is he didn't support her when she needed it the most. More on Raj later. She decided to move ahead in life after finding out about Raj was good as well. But feeling guilty due to Sarita's words? Can it be generosity? If Sarita was illogical and stupid saying all those words then so was Divya accepting it. She has sympathy, fine but no guilt please. My only issue with her is her breaking up her own wedding at last minute - for Sarita and Raj. More than that, the manner in which she did that was pretty embarrassing for Gaurav's and her own family.
Sarita has had it worst of the three as she is not responsible for the mess Raj is in. I hear comments like she should have befriended Raj, tried to understand him etc. Well, we don't know that she hasn't tried that. Also, any relationship (even of friends) depends of two people being open, approachable and receptive. Raj wasn't that. But then, she has been passive about her own life. Also, does she love Raj? Is it really possible to love without liking someone? Is it possible to like someone who has been emotionally distant and unreceptive for 10 years? I cannot comprehend how can she be in love with Raj? How can she even dream of a future with him after all this time. I so so wish that she would proactively leave Raj - not after finding out that Divya and Raj are still in love but because he's been unreasonably bad to her.
Now coming to Raj. I can believe when people speak about his true love for Divya. But I don't find that love attractive (not even in some tragic way) - instead I find it destructive and obsessive. Also, he had the resources to support Divya. Instead of supporting her, he chose to term her leaving as betrayal. In which alternate world is supporting one's younger siblings a betrayal. And if he did believe that she betrayed him - why didn't he confront her? He just chose to destroy his own life and also add misery to the lives of his family and made his wife's life a hell. If we can believe that 10 years of abuse made Sarita a bitter woman, isn't the same true for his Mom. Seeing her own son suffering so much must have filled her with hatred for her daughter in law - obviously it is easier for her than to hate her own son. Relationship between MIL-DIL does depend on the equation between son and DIL (and also on that between mother and son)
Also, there is life beyond love. I find his attitude towards his career and his family so irritating - that I don't think any back story, any justification will ever redeem him for me. So many people are unlucky in love - most of them move ahead in life (finding the courage from family, friends and career) and eventually succeed in love as well.
So, I guess I am completely against both SaRa and RaVya. Once I had suggested Sarita with Gaurav and Divya with her older co-star (in guest appearance). Considering Gaurav's feelings, I am open to Divya and Gaurav and Sarita with her old co-star (did she have any? I read somewhere that she was a warrior princess in her last outing) or even alone.
Or will the soap come up with something that would make me like or empathize with Raj? And surprise me!!!

I absolutely love your post. It's not fair to say that Sarita should have tried befriending Raj because we have not seen that she did and failed just as we have not seen whether Divya and Raj had a conversation about her leaving ten years ago. We are still at the wait and see what happened stage.

Sarita had told Divya to help her win Raj's love before she got married. But that was just her venting her frustrations of ten years. When Divya stopped her leaving from the bus, Sarita had clearly told Divya to go back to her family and wedding.
Personally I did not like what Divya did to Gaurav on the wedding day. It was very selfish of her. She should have postponed the wedding. I think she just wanted an excuse to not marry Gaurav and jumped at the opportunity Sarita gave her.

Divya is not a great lady

Iam 100% sure One day divya break sarita & gaurav trust & get back in raj life


Sarita trust divya & allowing her to live in her home to get raj love

Sarita have insecurity with divya whether divya take her husband back from sarita

Instead of this insecurity also sarita trusting divya

some very good points... i think this is time that CVs need to reign in sarita sympathy card and give some proper flashbacks of what transpired btwn divya n raj when responsibility of her siblings fell on her, how much did raj, if any, know abt divya's predictament!
then CVs connect it to raj in flashback, when did he find out divya left, how or did he try to trace her, how much time lapsed btwn divya leaving n raj n sarita's marriage, the day of marriage why did raj dress up as groom then was driving arnd

@Ruchi You have very good points about Sarita and Raj. But first coming to Divya and Gaurav, I believe both of them did a same type of mistake in what they did during the wedding. Divya has no reason to feel guilty about Sarita because she cannot control a behavior of another human being. Raj's behavior with Sarita or his own family is his own choice and so is Sarita's decision of sticking with Raj for 10 years despite all that indifference and neglect from him and abuse from his family.

But Divya's guilt is not stemming from Sarita's accusations only. She was already feeling broken once she found out that Raj wasted his potential and destroyed his life. She credits him for her success and her transformation and has high regard for him. So if she hadn't loved him so deeply, she would still have been disturbed at his destruction because he was her mentor and she has a capacity to empathize. Sarita's words transformed those feelings into guilt. But regardless, she was wrong in what she did at the alter. She should have told Gaurav upfront before the wedding about Sarita. However, Gaurav too was wrong at what he did to his mother. However, his choice was between protecting the repulation of a girl whom he loves and considers her actions to be well-meaning or hurting his mother. He chose to hurt his mother probably thinking that he would be able to repair that relationship later on, but did not want to destroy the relationship between his mother and the would be DIL whom her MIL clearly adores (for whatever reasons). But in doing so, he let down his mother who is extremely sensitive about abandonment and has brought up her son in hopes that he would be different from his father. But still Diyva and Gaurav both were quite dignified in their behavior. Gaurav did point to both his mother and Divya's brother that it was better for Divya if they take time to sort their feelings than to regret later on for marrying in haste just because of the society.

In any case, this marriage needed to be postponed as Divya is not ready for it. Even if Sarita hadn't come to her, she needed to postpone this wedding to get a clear mind. Here she was railroaded into this wedding by her family and Gaurav's mother.


Coming to Raj& Sarita, I find both their definition of love obsessive and destructive. So far their background is not shown to explain their reasons for such a behavior. My question is what made Raj so destructive. He had to be damaged in some sense even before Divya left. It is coming across that Divya was his emotional anchor/savior and losing her even for noble cause took away that anchor. His family (excluding father) shown so far doesn't seem that different from a lot of families even if they are totally different from him. So I can only think of father as behind such an unstable behavior. So want to reserve the judgment on him for the time being even though his character is incomprehensible to me right now.

Sarita is another one whose behavior is mystery. She did not tolerate all that abuse because she is helpless or supportless, but because she loves Raj and wanted to stay close to him. But I cannot think that she is in love with Raj. How can anybody be love with a person like Raj the way he is now. Leave alone giving her a normal life, he has not even stood up for all these years against his family. Even that time when Maasi was abusing Sarita, he first walked out and only spoke after Sarita implored him to do so. So why this attachment to this person and why is she not blaming him. Dadi has given her hope that things would improve and she clings to that. Kamla has lowered her self-esteem by blaming her for everything. But still it is her choice to stay in this dysfunctional relationship. Also, in some sense I find her and Kamla to be very similar. Both have become bitter over last 10 years as both had dreams. Both blame somebody else (who is not responsible) for Raj's behavior, but give him a free pass. Both can feel Raj's pain but cannot understand somebody else's pain. Kamla blames Sarita and Sarita blames Divya. Kamla cannot feel Sarita's pain (or chooses to ignore it) and Sarita ignores Divya's pain.

But I agree that I cannot blame Sarita for not understanding Raj because he is unapproachable. How long can one try if the other is not willing to move even an inch. And yes, Raj should not be with either Sarita or Divya at this point. In fact, he should not be with anybody else until he can sort himself out. He is not destroying himself, but he is destructive to everyone else who is with him.
